Labor and Workforce Development
Proposed Workload Budget

The major workload adjustments for 2008-09 include the following:

  • Automated Collection Enhancement System - The Governor's Budget includes $2.8 million ($2.6 million General Fund) and 17.1 positions for the continuation of the Employment Development Department's (EDD) Automated Collection Enhancement System (ACES), which will improve the EDD's ability to track, collect, and audit the payment of specified employer payroll taxes, including the personal income tax withholding. When implemented, this system is anticipated to increase state revenues.
  • October Revise - The Governor's Budget includes an increase of $753 million (various special funds) in benefit payments. This increase reflects the net total local assistance dollars that are identified in the EDD's 2007 October Revise, which are Unemployment Insurance, Disability Insurance, School Employees Fund programs, and the available Workforce Investment Act funds. In addition, an increase of $35.9 million and 220.7 positions in state operations is proposed for the various employment assistance payments that EDD administers.
  • Electronic Adjudication Management System - The Governor's Budget provides $9.7 million (Workers' Compensation Administration Revolving Fund) to support continued development of a paperless case management and automated calendaring system for the Division of Workers' Compensation in the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR).
